The hip replacement procedure rate in France per thousand persons aged 65 and above is forecasted to remain fairly stable over the period from 2024 to 2028, showing a slight decline from 12.2 in 2024 to 12.0 in 2028. The data indicates a minor year-on-year decrease of less than 1%, implying plateauing demand due to either leveled demographics in aging populations or stabilized advancement in non-surgical interventions. As of 2023, the exact rate stood at 12.3 procedures per thousand individuals.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in hip replacement procedures that could drive efficiency and reduce patient recovery time, potentially influencing the number of procedures performed.
Population dynamics, such as an increasing aging population, which might alter the forecast due to growing demand for such procedures.
Healthcare policy changes affecting funding and accessibility that could impact procedure rates.
